I think aggie was bluffing me tonight but he kept shoving big and I didn't want to take the chance.

Interesting note:

all three night tournaments had 38 entrants

**ireland1946** · 08-16-12, 03:26 PM

Took a bad Beat at the 10 am typical SBR Set-Up Hand
had KK and shoved 500 got 1 caller, flop brings nothing
special all low crap, shove all in still the 1 caller, Cards
open, sure enough he had AA, band gone very early

**yisman** · 08-16-12, 04:20 PM

mp5070, the monster stiff, just luckboxed me out of a hand at the ring tables.

.5/1 blinds, I'm dealt rockets, I raise to 5 preflop, the scumbag stuff and one other calls. Flop comes J10 and a low card, including a club. Scumbag stiff all-ins on me with over 20 chips. I call.

He has 10,5 clubs. Turn is the Ace of clubs, giving me trips. River is another club. Runner runner flush and the scumbag cheats me out of some more points.

**yisman** · 08-16-12, 04:21 PM

So not only is he a stiff, he's stupid and a horrible poker player. Who calls a 5x raise preflop with 5,10?

**Optional** · 08-16-12, 08:38 PM

Woah. Havent seen you throw around the "scumbag" and "stiff" rant before.

This guy must be bad.

**yisman** · 08-16-12, 08:54 PM

owes me over 3k points. Total lowlife.

Anyway, I bubbled. 21st. I folded A2 and A5 before my blind because it was on the bubble. Everyone playing super tight and folding. Had a shot, all in showdown with Arunsh AQ vs. 33, if AQ won I'd cash, but 33 won, and then my blind hit and I was dealt 36 and lost.

**yisman** · 08-16-12, 10:15 PM

I played one more poker tournament tonight.

Top 3 paid.

I finished 4th when J8 lost to 46.

Bubbled in both tournaments

**yisman** · 08-17-12, 02:32 PM

Bad beat actually went in my favor this time.

Coolered with emily's KK vs. my QQ. All in preflop. I somehow wound up with a straight 8-Q.

Off topic: I forgot to play trivia yesterday

**easyliving** · 08-17-12, 03:57 PM

just won the 3:00 pm daily after being down 1:4 in chips heads up. Its a good day.

**yisman** · 08-17-12, 04:42 PM

I wish I had an open schedule on Friday. The morning/afternoon ones were naturally pretty full, but I bet tonight's tournaments will have around 25-35 people in them.

**borednaz** · 08-18-12, 06:02 PM

Yisman, That covers the 48 I still owed you pal, and 12 for some of the interest. Let me know what I still owe you.

**yisman** · 08-20-12, 07:31 PM

probably would've been better off playing 9 PM, but sbr poker updates so slowly.
40 people, finished 26th

1600+ chips, 100/200 blinds I believe, late position. I all-ined re-raising GUMMO's 400 raise. He called. He had AK and caught a king on the turn.

I am out of the top 100 now, all the way down to 105th. My signature looks nice, but almost all of it is from weekend stuff. Weekday poker, just can't cash.

**yisman** · 08-20-12, 11:24 PM

My QK vs MLD's K9

9 on river after he jinxed it

but I got him back finally A7 over Ak

then I raise from .5/1 to 16 preflop, donk studmlb calls with j7 off, I'm ahead the whole way, until he wins on the river

**yisman** · 08-21-12, 04:00 PM

dealt QQ at 1/2 Avenue X.

big joe raises to 5. hockey216 calls. I re-raise to 15. joe folds, hockey calls. Flop 10,8,7 of two different suits.

I bet 28. He calls. Turn is a 6 and he all ins after my bet. He was holding 66 and was calling my QQ. Major suckout.

Dealer: hockey216 shows three of a kind, sixes.

Then he starts telling me I should've folded when he re-raised. Yeah right. Like I can fold when I have that much in already, with QQ.

**yisman** · 08-21-12, 10:12 PM

two poker tournaments today:

first one (not SBR): dealt QK early on, flop 910J

I bet big, other guy all ins. He has Q10, no flush possibility.

He hits a Q and a 10 on the turn and river to beat my flopped straight.

Then in SBR:

Dealer: yisman shows three of a kind, sixes.
Dealer: yisman shows three of a kind, sixes.
Dealer: bighawk12 shows high card ace.
Dealer: bighawk12 shows high card ace.
Dealer: yisman shows a full house, sixes full of tens.
Dealer: yisman shows a full house, sixes full of tens.
Dealer: bighawk12 shows a royal flush.
Dealer: bighawk12 shows a royal flush.
Dealer: bighawk12 wins 3,670 with a royal flush.

66, hit a set on the flop. I bet, hawk all-ins. I wind up with a boat (6s full of 10s) but he hit the exact right diamond to complete the royal flush.

I finish 34th.

**yisman** · 08-22-12, 06:16 PM

Out early again.

7 PM late position, 15/30 blinds, I raise to 150. studmlb right behind me calls.

I have JJ, he has A10 and sucks out.

36th.

The last 3 months of SBR poker has been brutal.

**yisman** · 08-22-12, 10:29 PM

it's now happening frequently at the ring games.

.5/1

AJ, I raise preflop to 4.9. One caller. Flop comes with J high, I bet 8 into the pot. He calls. 9 on turn, I bet 20, he re-raises allin (a few more chips). I call. He shows J4. River is a 4.

Dealer: bullgator shows a pair of jacks.

Dealer: yisman shows a pair of jacks.

Dealer: bullgator shows two pairs, jacks and fours.
Dealer: bullgator shows two pairs, jacks and fours.
Dealer: yisman shows a pair of jacks.
Dealer: yisman shows a pair of jacks.
Dealer: bullgator wins $71.62 with two pairs, jacks and fours.

This is beyond belief. If I had any suckouts where I won, I'd post them. I haven't had a single one recently. All going the other way.

**yisman** · 08-23-12, 06:19 PM

and we keep going

7 PM tournament, I have 44, I hit a set on the flop, other guy has QJ off, he hits runner runner flush. Last four community cards are clubs to give him the flush.

**yisman** · 08-23-12, 06:52 PM

more from the same tournament.

no preflop raise, I'm small blind, 100/200 blinds, I'm holding 610, flop comes 6K10. I bet, get a caller, and then 70kgman all-ins. I call, Stifler folds.

70 is holding KQ off. Turn 7, river Q, rivered once again costing me huge

**Vitooch** · 08-23-12, 08:12 PM

Came in 2nd in 7pm tourney after being down to 145 chips...Now I have to rollover 325 i think...This will be a pain

**littleode** · 08-24-12, 02:46 AM

Starts a very familiar poker table backhand forth argument. Of course I refuse to argue with a guy that just pulled that K J stunt, but I happened to find Qs Qh on the very next hand. So I kept the argument going, shoved my remaining 14.5K and said something like “call this with K J shithead” – he did, with Qs 5s and flopped my day as I received no help on the turn; he continued talking trash the whole time as I just got up and left.

**yisman** · 08-25-12, 04:13 PM

550 point buyin tournament, like 15 minutes in

I'm dealt 10s

frizzelli has AK off

flop comes AAK

no joke

I finish last

**yisman** · 08-26-12, 09:28 AM

had one go my way today, my A8 beat AA. Two 8s on flop. But the raise preflop was not much so I had to call. Vast majority of chips went in after the flop and turn.

**Dux90** · 08-26-12, 04:42 PM

2 tourney today for today for almost 300pts whatever about pts but when the best hand you get is AK suited and it gets beat by 3 7 off something is odd and weird, i am new so some of these threads make sense now b4 i was like there is no way shit like that can happen. rethinking spending money on going pro. seriously

**yisman** · 08-26-12, 05:35 PM

some good luck so far

big hand where 99 beat AK off. all chips in preflop, but there was an A on the flop. River came a 9. Better hand won, but it was topsy-turvy.

Also I knocked out rm with 57 off. It's a bad beat but he min-raised me. I was big blind and with the antes, I figured it was worth a shot considering I was already in for 600. I called for the other 600 and flopped two pair to beat rockets.

**yisman** · 08-26-12, 06:08 PM

it quickly reversed itself as I went card-dead and finished 7th. Top 5 get paid. I spent 330 to get 150 poker points :doh:

final hand A3 hearts lost to Q5 off

Try wearing your tin foil hate when playing. Stops them sending instructions on when to click bet.

If by unreal, you mean me raising KK UTG for you to jam TT, then yes. So unreal, never in the history of poker have two pairs been dealt.

Also, graceful exit leaving what was a totally silent table.

**yisman** · 08-27-12, 09:50 AM

yesterday at the 5 PM, I was dealt 88, another guy was dealt 99, and a third guy was dealt 1010.

One guy raised all-in, the other called, and thankfully I folded.

Disrespecting other people regardless of how they play isn't tolerated here. Grow up.

wow, wow, wow. I apologized I was frustrated but acting like you run the place is just stupid. I said sorry was frustrated shouldnt be this big of a deal so maybe i should go nominate threads for fun. I said my bad if u cant take that then I dont know what to tell you but if you are going to tell me what is tolerated and not tolerated you better check out the rest of this place cause it is an open sewer when it comes to talking shit. So once again apologize but unless you are a mod which you are not even a pro like me take it easy I said sorry

**yisman** · 08-27-12, 10:21 PM

just got sucked out on big time on the river in the 11 PM.

99 vs. 22.

I raised to 8x the big blind preflop, called by 22. I bet the flop with several hundred. I bet the turn. And I get rivered.

right after a runner runner flush beat my two pair.

Out in 41st. And playersonly says he doesn't have luck against me.
